Oh no, that's a secret~ <3

Ah, well, he won't be operating there. He won't have to leave the state, but think closer to the mountains. A little nowhere town. Not a fun assignment, and certainly not exciting, I'm afraid.
Big cities attract big players. The Hero Seahawk operates in the general Seattle area, near the coast, with the power over saltwater. But not the salt itself, mind, so as he operates away from the coast the water desalinates and isn't affected by him anymore. On the beach he's pretty much invincible. Elsewhere he carries a tank with him, but... Despite his huge fandom, he's limited in operations. Inland, you're looking at people like Big Time, who can enlarge parts of their body, or Dropper, who can magnify gravity in an area.
There's a limited Villain presence regardless, but it's not organized. Even the big boys are still in disarray. There's some big names like Drag and Bullshit, but as far as I know, they're in hiding.

You're making some assumptions here, so...
First of all, this isn't the east coast. We don't have access to Doctor Joy and her contraptions out here. Too far away and they stop working. The cops do have access to special Talent-suppressing munitions, though. They don't last, though, and the boys in blue don't have Hero Agency support, so they don't have nearly the defensive tech we have broad access to, except maybe SWAT. Thus, petty criminals are handled (mostly) by police, along with doing the heavy lifting for investigations. Sometimes your queries will involve them.
But if a man starts tossing cars around, well...
And my my, dear, prostitution is decriminalized, but we haven't even BEGUN to discuss the matters of Talent use in that sector. Talents in politics was bad enough!
Some heroes explicitly use their powers for advertisement and the like, but most of them have abilities that are mostly useless in combat or things that they don't want to use in combat. I recall one young fellow who can manipulate paper and uses it entirely for mass-spreading of flyers and the like.
Oh, as for pay... Heroes new in the field start with a stipend that is generally enough (from feedback I get from Heroes) to afford to feed themselves and find a place in town. Some of them elect to stay in their Agency branch and we have living spaces set aside, but they have to pay for utilities and internet, not to mention being on-tap for emergencies.
Once a Hero gets enough experience and is promoted from rookie status, they get an additional salary that's adjusted based on performance. Considerations are made based on the area and living expenses, and so on. Not something you'll have to worry about! You're getting standard Agency salary, which, in my opinion, is more than enough to live on.
As for lethal action in the field, they must request authorization. That's one of the reasons for tactical live support. It's part of your job to determine that with help of your support staff.
It goes without saying that being flippant in authorizing lethal action will result in... consequences. Keep that in mind. One last thing: This image here will be used between our scheduled postings for semi-urgent notices. Please keep it in mind!
There will be another update in a day or so. Right now, I still need a little time. Please be patient!
